FLAGSTAFF AS A RAILROAD GEN.
 TER.

Tn a recent issue of the JOURNAL MINER brief description vas given of the rapid progress our neighboring town of Flagstaff had made during the past
 few years; ns continued growth at pres cni, together gIth brief mention of its leaoing business houses. The town IS located in tie midst of one of the larg- esi timber belts m the United States, and from this fact promises 10 become a railroad town of considerable importance. It's location was a result of the building of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, which
 traverses ihe territory from east to west. Another load, the Mineral Belt. is al- ready under consuusiion, and some four
 teen e fifteen miles Of track have been
 lad. It's contemplated to push this
 road on through to Globe, a distance of
 ISo miies, as rapidly as possible, and
 eventually 10 3 connection with the Santa
 Fe system, in the southern part of the territory. During the construction of
 the hrsI ISo miles Fiagsta6 will be the
 supply pom, for t, and must, of neces- siiy. be prosperous.
 Another road, seveniy-hve mics in length, Is talked of 10 the Grand Cancu of the Colorado. and citizens of the town havs assurances that work will be commenced or tiIs by the Ist of June. Should ihs enterprise be consummated t IS the interuon of eastern capitalists to build a large hotel al the Grand Csnon, and one also at Flagstaff, for the accommodation of tonrists The former place is wis5oai doubs one Of the grar,c,- est sights to ns> witnessed on this ccnii- nenl, i, indeed, h>can De surpassed, or even equaied on the s,obe, and should railroad be built to make ii easy of ac- -eesz to the sight seeing and pleasure seeking trayeler, Il would be 9is.,ed by hundreds of people every year. As i railroad center our sister town of Flag staff promises soon to rival Albuquerque, where t IS no uncommon feat to build railroad every week--on paper.

The accident to the passenger train,
 on the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, on
 Thursday night, attended with its fearful
 consequences, of loss If life. is sim
 ply another evidence of the criminal
 negligence Of the management of the
 road, at present. While doing large
 business. the management, under the
 plea of economy, has recently reduced the force of employees. away below the
 number requisite to keep the road in good repair Instead of reducing the force at the present time, the condition
 is such, that an increased force Is re quued to pdt II Tn safe conoition. The
 ties are rotten and loose and the in- crease in ,rsffic and the heavy engines required U perform the work plays havoc
 with them. fae cause of Thursday nigh,'s accident Is attributed te a burned -b1idss. -ssssksas- -toss'or 6ve acci- dents attributed to that cause within the past north. 4 number oi simple rem edIes to prevent the occurrence of these accidents, suggest themselves. h the first place the Southern Pacific rsiirsad employs track walkers, whose dniy it is to ceu.lanJ.s yak over a given beat and see that the track IS clear of obstacles and tha, the bridges arc entaot The Asantic and Par fife, il IS said, employs a nuhber also, but fl such IS ihs case they are>i,her given too Urge section of track orls, they perform their dH'ies very IndiferensX We have yet to hear of the fiTst hurnea>bridge that was dis covered hy track-wIker and a train signaled hefo'e t made f-t-l plunge in'o 1t. Another preven,is>> would be to attach some kind of apparatn,to the engine whereby a spray CT wa,s> or steam could be thrown on the bridge while crossing, and thus prevent sparks from the engine from ignting. The de- struotlon Of property alone which the road has recently e1peuenced, to say nothing of the loss of life, should sus- gest to the company some means of aveitlng these frequently occurring scci- dents, no less than ten or twelve having occurred now within three weeks. A boycott of the travelling public is bound to occur, and great taliing of of traffic IS also sure io occur from then.

q BROKEN FlANcG.

The Albuquerque Democra, amour ces that the railroad accident winch oc- cnTed recently near Coolidge was occa- stoned by a broken flange of wheel under the tender of the engine instead of by burned bridge as first reported. The broken iange business IS getting to be quite a chestnut as a cause of acci- dent on the Atlantic X Pacific railroad The same was given as cause of the accidents at Belmont and Ash Fork a few weeks ago. Now 1t this is the case the questions naturlly arise: 'Has the Atlantic x Pacific no car inspectors along the line oi their road1' "If not, why is itl" "Do they consider it econ- omy'" ''lf they have such inspectors. do they perform their duties1'
 The tact is that the writer of this arti- Gle witnessed both the wrecks at Ash Fork and Belmont few days after these accidents occurred and satisfied him. self that he broken fanses were the Te- suit ot i9- accidents and not thelr cause. il- r.use IS we'll known to rail road men and to parties living along rh, line of the road and no attempt at mis- representation on the par, of railroad of- ficials will succeed in keeping the fac, from coming to the surface, that these ac- cidents are dierctly attributable to a false economy on the part of the manage ment of the road The ties have become rotten from long use and recently the company has placed number of extra heavy, sixty to seventy tons engines OF the road. The result is that when these heavy engines strike curve the spikes give way in the rotten ties and the rails spread and an accident IS the result. Both accidents, men, toned above, happened as the engines were rounding curves and both engines were sf the new lot of heavy ones.
 Thus far no lives have been lost but these accidents should prove warning to the managers of the road and they should see to it that their road is placed in thorough repar before ''smash up takes place attended with loss of life. The road has been doing an immense business of late, both ofpassnger and freight traffic, but if these aocideTts con tinue with such alarming frequency, ihe through travel will be diverted to other and safer routes.

A Boom For the Mining Districts

The extraordinary activity now man ifested in railway circles, promises an early verification of the Reviews predic- iion of an extraordinary awakening of interests Tn the mining regions, where rich mines have been discovered and opened on apaying basis. It is as inev- liable as fate. He who studies the pub lished movements of the Rio Grande, the Santa Fe, the Union Pacific, the Midland and Burlington these days, cannot !ail 10 see that each IS pointing toward the mining camps with the direct intention of giving them multiplied fa-il- ines for the cheaper extraction and transportation of ores. Some of the millions involved in these extentions will certainly take the form of investments in mining. In each railway scheme there IS private syndicate made up Of individuals who avail themselve Of the advantages which invariably follow the in- augurations of such enterprises. In the cities it buys real estate and contem- plates great improvements. In the mountains it reaches out for good min ing properties and takes them in.- Denver Mining Revew.

The Yuma Sentinel says Johnny Miles was pardoned ou, ot the Teniior- iai prison On Monday" We presume the boy referred to by the above IS Jimmy Miles, whom, we learn. has been granted a conditional pardon by Governor Znliok. This pardon brings 10 mind an item contained iu this paper tO that effect, in February last, which tends 10 show the contempuble nature of our chief eNecu- tive. The information leading to its publication was obtained first from Chief of Police Dodson, who sad he thought Ii was correct, and that the pardon was granted. To be sure Of making no mis- take in the matter, we then went to see Miles attorney, who stated that 1t was correct and that the pardon was grar,ed. On this information the item in question was published. \ day or two thereafter avery short communication was pub llshed in the Courier, written by enc Of Zalick's most obsequious lackeys, avcus- ing Us of maliciously lying in the matter
 The laokey referred 10 may net have known any better, but he wrote he Hem with the knowledge of Governor Zulick, and the latter knew that SO far as the editor of this paper was concerned, or so far as James Miles' attorney was con- cerned, that there vas no lying done. He knew that he had shown the pardon in the presence of two other gentlemen and had assured him that il would be sent to Yuma the next morning Know ing this, and, as consequence, knowing

Men frequently engage in business
because they see the bright or agree
able side OF It, and get easily discour
aged when they encounter the tlresome
details and pcrpieXitios incident to 1t.
Strength OF character and the true traits
that are in US are only brought out by
the trials ard the trictions we euCOun-
ter in life and trade. The man who
cannot hold Up ard manfulIy do com
bat with the world has 70 give place to
the one who can do SO. The former
fails, while the latter succeeds. The
one who meets life as it presents Itself
in its ever varying moods and phases,
and is determined to succeed, over
comes all barriers and obstacles and
accomPliShes his purpose. No one
ever succeeded in any calling without
a determined effort. The greater the
effort or eXertjon the greater the sue
cess and the fuller the pleasure afforded
by its accomplishment. The seaman
is only developed by the storm, the
soldier by the battle, the merchant BY
the jostIe and friction Of trade. Metal
is tested IN the crucibie which rehnes
it. Man shows his true character when
trouble, trial or adversely stand before
him to impede his progress, or he has
to combat It. Ii IS then he shows his
true, real metal and maaliness. He
comes out of the conflict either better,
